Cloud computing addresses the use of scalable and often virtualized resources. It is based on service-level agreements that provide external users with services under request. Cloud computing is still evolving. New specific collaboration models among service providers are needed for enabling effective service collaboration, allowing the process of serving consumers to be more efficient. This paper presents AMBAR-C, an adaptation of AMBAR (Awareness-based learning Model for distriButive collAborative enviRonment) designed to allow nodes in a distributed environment to accomplish an effective collaboration among service providers in a "cloud" by means of a multi-agent architecture in which agents are aware of its surroundings throughout a parametrical and flexible use of this information. As occurs in AMBAR, AMBAR-C makes use of heuristic strategies to improve effectiveness and efficiency in collaborations of these particular environments.
